Graduation Weekend

I told you that about 4 million pictures were coming your way following graduation (here). Today, I’m going to bombard you with pictures from that weekend :-) Buckle up peeps, I don’t want you to get beat up with this picture bomb lol

Waving goodbye for the last time without my doctorate. I was a little nervous for the ceremony, if you can’t tell from the picture ;-)

Processing in and finding the fam in the audience. I was so happy to have my support team present to witness the day.

Being hooded Dr. Hawley on stage. PRAISE THE LORD!

Shaking hands with the president.

Showing off my latest hood :-)Me with my sister

Me with the Mr.

The fam who flew to Texas for my graduation.

After the ceremony the celebrating began with a delicious brunch and dinner out on the town in Houston!!!This just might be my favorite picture of my dad :-)

I hope you didn’t think I was going to post pictures of the family and leave out my 4-legged children!

My sister snuggle’n with the pups.

Kellyn gave me this gorgeous monogrammed necklace as a graduation gift and I just had to show it off :-) I sure do love jewelry and monogram. hehe Kellyn must know me pretty well ;-)

On Saturday we had a girls day filled with shopping, outdoor cafes, and pedicures! Whenever Kellyn is in town we always have to go relax at Tiny Boxwood (a fabulous french bistro; I highly recommend it to fellow Houstonians)

We also got delightful 2-hour deluxe pedicures in honor of my mom for mothers day. Look at those pur-dy toes!

All-in-all graduation weekend was fun, relaxing and full of celebrations. :-) I wish I could do it all over again, without the 5 years of degree earning of course hehe

This might be one of my favorite posts in a while!!!! Yay! Just looking through these pictures reminds me again just how proud of you I am!! That was a lovely weekend and I can't wait to visit again soon! Best sister in the whole wide world! Love you always!

SOOO fun! I love it and I can't believe how similar our ceremonies actually sort of look... guess our Prez. isn't the only one with the giant ridiculous chain (though I thought he was... somehow in my college grad and all the others I've been to, the Prez. here was the only one who I've seen wear one)! And I LOVE that you got pedicures - so pretty! And you look GORGEOUS! : )
